Wild Meat: Cooking Lappe and Agouti
Recipe Information
Lappe and Agouti
Cultural Context
Lappe and Agouti is a traditional dish from Grenada, showcasing the island's rich wildlife and culinary heritage. Both lappe (a type of rodent) and agouti are often hunted and prepared in stews, reflecting the resourcefulness of local cooks. This dish is typically enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions, celebrating the flavors of the Caribbean. While it remains a local delicacy, variations can be found across the Caribbean islands, adapting to available ingredients and tastes.
